OUR STORY
Rooted in a
braiding tradition.
The villages around Qingdao have braided corn husk ,wheat straw ,seagrass and cattail leaf for generations — first for the home, then for the market. Our factory grew out of that tradition: what began as a family workshop is today a team of skilled braiders supplying homeware brands, importers ,wholesalers, and retailers worldwide.
We still work the old way. Husks are sun-dried, strands are braided by hand, and every piece is coiled, shaped and trimmed by people who have done it all their lives. The result is something no machine can copy — small variations that make every piece quietly one of a kind.

THE CRAFT
Every strand passes
through human hands.
Machine weaving is fast. We chose slow. Each piece is braided, coiled and finished by artisans — a rhythm of work that no machine has learned, and that your customers can feel the moment they pick it up.
